Yeesh. I don't know if there's any glue or anything you could use to "heal" the crack. AFAIK plastic cement does nasty things to clear plastic so that might not be the best idea.
Also, yeah, plastic can degrade, but it really depends on the plastic. I have figures from 2001 whose actual plastic is still pretty strong. What you really want to look out for is the dreaded "gold plastic syndrome"- some toys from the late 80s and early 90s used this bronze/gold plastic with a distinctive swirl pattern. After a while it just "expires" and will crumble to bits at the slightest provocation. G2 Slingshot, G2 Electro and BW Neo Randy (snigger) are some of the worst examples.

I still want to see it, if only for Samuel Jackson
"The will to lose one's will?"
"Absolutely. The will to make oneself completely free. Will is the wrong word, because in the end you could call it despair. Because it really comes out of an absolute feeling of it's impossible to do these things, so I might as well just do anything. And out of this anything, one sees what happens."--Francis Bacon

Sam Jackson in an anime movie? I'm intrigued.
Shin Evangelion brought me back, five long years later.

I'm not coping with my current transitional period too well: depressed, reclusive, putting on more weight, constant intestinal inflammation and bloating, awful sleep patterns, unmotivated, getting myself banned from EGF, etc. Doesn't help that I feel like I was duped into a cashier job. (Told at interview I'd do stocking, then hit with the switcheroo after I turned my job kit in. Terrified of asking one of the higher-ups what the fucking deal is.) Looking at my job hours for next week, I figuratively want to kill myself.

Some combination of stress and things caused by stress (binge snacking, poor sleep, etc), or is it all motivated by some deeper issue?
Cashiering isn't so bad, I've done that plenty at various jobs over the years. Just get yourself some comfy shoes with thick padded soles and put the bland customer pleasantries on an automatic loop while you tune out the idiocy. When it's busy a shift can fly by while you barely notice.

Sure, but being told you'll do one thing, that you accept and are (somewhat) happy with, and it then being sprung upon you that you'll be doing something else, which you don't feel ready for, is fair reason to be livid.
Grow up, be a woman and shut your mealy mouth - sure. At the very least however, this could have been apparent sooner. Not everyone can cope, and it can cause a great deal of stress for some people; as we can see with exhibit Reichu, here.
The fate of man…the hope of man is written in sorrow.

It's really hard to say how any of my crappy feedback loops begin. I'm fairly certain that I'm bipolar type 2 (and never got diagnosed 10+ years back -- when it might have really been useful to know -- because A.S. and chronic depression superficially seemed to cover everything), so my current state of being was inevitably going to befall me on account of the fact that I felt unusually good for a few months prior.
Happiness is a very bittersweet thing for someone like me, because it is a neurological inevitability that it won't last. Eventually that hard crash will come and there is usually no respite until I hit my rock bottom... and then suddenly things perk up again. The only way I seem to avoid this is when I maintain a steady bland, neutral mood, but the downside of that is I don't really accomplish anything. I need those "ups" to move me forward, but it's obviously hard to keep going forward when clear skies yield to hurricane...

When it's busy it's not so bad, but when it's not, it's terrible.
Nah, that's when you should be chatting up the other cashiers and making work buddies. Or if you're super bored just help out with the stocking you wanted to do anyway in a place that's near the registers.

Reichu, you're in good company with people transitioning through shitty jobs. We feel your pain, and you have our support!
Just keep reminding yourself it's a temporary stop on the way to the inevitable place where you not only want to be, but were meant to be.

We have to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, and work. Or waffles, friends, and work. But work has to come in third.

Come read EVA Sessions! This place has it, too! There'll be pizza! Not really! There are other things, too! Not EVA Sessions! Did I mention the pizza!?
